Quick mid-day update. Went to a positively *fascinating* seminar about using emotion in writing, spent a significant part of the hour thinking, “Boy, I really need to go back and work on that in MD,” then went to lunch with Karen Duvall and Margie Lawson (who was the delightful woman whom Anne Tupler introduced me to last night, and who also gave the seminar on emotion, and met M… damn, I’ve done it again. I want to say Marcie but I’m not sure that’s right. Anyway! Met one of the…
con writeup, long!
Ah hah! Web access! This is going to be a Very Long Post. :) RMFW Con Report, 9.12.02 Taking a break from con stuff to ice my poor stiff back, which really very much does *not* appreciate the whole hours-on-airplane/hours-in-panels treatment it’s getting.

I kept my eyes closed pretty much the whole plane ride, but I don’t think I slept more than 15 minutes; 3 hours is…

Here’s my letter: I was actually online in a chat with Gigi Edgely, who plays Chiana on Farscape, when a handful of people reported that “We were on CNN!” I missed the 8:45 Eastern report, but caught the repeat for the West Coast at 9:45 ET (5:45pm my time; I’m in Alaska). I wanted to…
mortgage
Well. That was remarkably painless. We went to sign mortgage paperwork. It took less than half an hour. All, evidently, is well with the world. Then we went and had lunch at someplace with Croissaint in the name, and it was really really yummy. And, um, let’s see. *LAUGH* I just heard Lucy’s really pathetic mewing. Mew? Meew? Meowl. Mewl. And I looked around for her, and it kind of sounded like she was behind Ted’s desk. Mewl. Mewr? Mowl. And so I leaned over and pulled open the drawer…
